Effective humanities programs help to close the educational achievement gap often experienced by economically vulnerable children, and they work to ensure an engaged, educated, and thoughtful citizenry. Armed with evidence of success, PRIME TIME, Inc. respectfully requests the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to expand and sustain its PRIME TIME Preschool program via the Humanities Access grant. PRIME TIME, Inc. commits to raise $100,000 between May 2016 and May 2018. Combined with the one-to-one match from the NEH, these funds will be invested in a term endowment with the Community Foundation of North Louisiana, with which the LEH currently invests funds. In total, $200,000 will be devoted to supporting PRIME TIME Preschool programming throughout Louisiana from May 2018 to June 2021.
